I went friday to my local Whole food Friday for my food, and the cashier that I like to go to, she looks like the classic Celiac, very painfully thin. I never asked her anything but I just happe to ask her if she has ever had the pizza crust that I was buying and she said no and she looked at what I was getting and she said Oh I can eat this, I then asked her if she was diagnosed and she said a month ago. I was happy to know that she was not anorexic and I wanted to tell her about this forum but she had other customers behind me, and I did not want to hold up the line. so I thought that this was interesting so hopefully I can start talking to her more.

Donna,

That's great that you were thinking about telling her about the forum -- I say next time you're there, you make sure to get in her line and tell her. I'm sure she'd be flattered to know you remembered her, and even more grateful when you tell her about the forum.

Being newly diagnosed, I'm sure she's yearning for some contact with others who are going through the same thing. Your new relationship with her, and this forum -- will help her feel less alone.

She was excited when I asked her if she has had the pizza crust that I bought and said oh I can eat that and when I go next friday to do my shopping I will defiantly tell her about the site and ask her how she is coping and all.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By cvernon · Posted

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/

      Contaminated cooking oils

      By Jsingh · Posted

      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.
